If the system can only be fixed by being broken first, then i guess that’s how it will have to be.......
From the article: “They never seem to learn a thing from history.”

This is one of my operating definitions of a Liberal.
You Can’t Make This Up:
<><>LA County Fire Dept Donated Fire fighting Equipment to Ukraine
<><>Biden’s USAID State Dept Funded 16 Ukrainian Fire Departments
LA’s raging fires have already claimed two lives and destroyed 1,000’s of acres and homes, as firefighters face unprecedented challenges, such as water shortages from dry hydrants. Tax paid equipment sent to Ukraine was needed to bolster these firefighting efforts.
Demented Joe Biden’s USAID tax dollars funded 16 Ukrainian Fire Depts
<><>with protective gear, motor pumps,
<><>chainsaws, rescue motor cutters,
<><>rechargeable spotlights, fire extinguishers,
<><>and hydraulic rescue tools.
The lesbian LA fire chief, govt power and water “officials” rake in massive salaries $700
and $800k per annum, plus perks, and all that “accidentally” falls into their bank accounts.
It’s now exposed: DEI is WAR against America.
A few of those affected may sour a bit on their communist paradise government. The vast majority of communists in CA will continue on their merry way, feeling good about their virtue.
Bernie Sanders has already said that the California fires are due to Climate Change, and the GOP’s unwillingness to address that issue.
So will the mainstream media put the blame where it really belongs, or will they follow Bernie’s lead? I’m betting on the latter.

A repeated truth can overcome a repeated lie.
About 186 dams have been removed in CA.
100 Broken down fire engines need repair.
7 years wait for a white guy to get an LAFD interview, 1 day for a black woman.
No water drop capability like up here in WA and OR.
Hydrants out of water.
$20,000,000 Budget Cut for the fire department.
LA mayor in freaking Ghana.
Lesbo fat fire chief.
Water impounded for smelt and the snail darter fish.
The list goes on and on. LEFTISM caused these fires. Los Angeles merely reaps the crop their leftist policies sowed.
Times have changed, it’s a brave new world, yuou can’t continue to hold on to those rigid principles. How dare you complain because they can’t live up to your standards and expectations. There are a lot of people on the lower half of the scale of competency, and they need those jobs...
And the spotted owl.....and bamby and the herd....all incinerated
And all that smoke in the air...all the solar cells stopped working
OMG.... Global Warming....expect global warming on steroids.
Why is this happening? People are so afraid of being called racist or homophobe they are frozen and will do nothing. It has been well known for eons that there are good reasons for not putting sexual deviants in positions of responsibility. Same with blacks. Look at the power mad black “judges” persecuting Trump. There is room here for all, but all do not belong at the head of the table. Nothing mean about that, just inconvenient facts.
Home Depot is changing the price of lumber and building materials as we speak. As far as finding a contractor, good luck. If you get those, then you get in line at the LA permit office for building permits (take a lot of cash or a small bag of gold)
My advice, sell your lot and move. Those that stay, buy up about 10 tiny houses to lease out and then sell. For the ambitious carpenter, your ship has come in, get a trailer, fill it at the lumber store and move to So Cal.
The ultimate irony is the very celebrities and uber rich whose mansions burned to the ground are the very supporters and funders of the likes of Bass, Newsom (and Biden, Obama, Hilary, etc.) - why their always visiting the area, flying in on private or government jets to $10,000/plate fund raisers.
You can be sure they’ll continue as before and have these same fund raisers for the likes of Kamala Harris when she runs for governor of the state - and will continue the policies of Newsom - refusing to send water to So Cal to protect a non-commercial, non-native fish, the Delta Smelt - enforcing DEI policies over people’s safety and refusing to clean up the underbrush in fire-prone areas, which allows these fires to rage uncontrollably.
It just occurred to me, that withholding water to protect the Delta Smelt, Governer Newsom denied the supply. There’s a joke in there somewhere.
Gov. Newsom passes the buck to ‘local folks’ when asked about hydrants running out of water during Pacific Palisades fire

“Apparently, “diversity” means that leadership must be all LGBTQ”
True. Unfortunately DEI leaders are being exposed as incompetent everywhere.
“Apparently, “diversity” means that leadership must be all LGBTQ”
Basically they drive out everybody else, so in the end, they are the only choices you have. Ain’t “Diversity” wonderful?
“. . . there is no water coming out of the fire hydrants. LA Mayor Karen Bass is on a foreign trip to Ghana.”
Karen Bass in the LA mayor’s office: a fish outta water (at several levels).
Two of the biggest flops in fire-ravaged LA:
<><>Mayor Karen Bass cut $17M off the F/D budget before abandoning the city for Africa partying
<><>Kristin Crowley LGBTQ LAFD Fire Chief says the fire crisis is from a lack of diversity.
Last month Kristin Crowley warned $17+ million cut from the department’s budget “severely limited the department’s capacity to prepare for, train for, and respond to large-scale emergencies, including wildfires”....and her ability to get rich overnight.
The first female LGBTQ fire chief created a DEI Bureau to train firefighters in DEI.
They called it a “crisis” that there aren’t more women represented in the fire department.
